#StudentLife

Our classes participated in the #StudentLife Challenge today, connecting with other classrooms around the world.  #StudentLife, the brainchild of Wisconsin teacher Pernille Ripp, is a worldwide opportunity for students to show what a school day looks like from a student's perspective.

Here is our #StudentLife:

The day begins by hanging up snow pants...ready for recess in a few hours!

Fact fluency practice (on our Chromebooks) gets our minds revved up for learning!

We officially start the day with a greeting at Morning Meeting.  All are welcome here...

#RESreads lots of books...glad today is library day!

A gathering of 3rd graders for team play practice.  It's our first day "off script"!

(Come watch our performance of "It's Electrifying" on February 18, 2015 at 5:00pm.)

In Library for our first special.  We're learning about book trailers for our opinion writing unit final pieces.

Espanol is our second special.  We're fortunate to have Spanish starting in Kindergarten.

We're using array cards to learn multiplication facts with friends.

We're working on strategies and keeping track of the facts "we know" and the ones we're "working on".

Bundling up for outdoor recess.  It's 11* and sunny...a heat wave!

Reading with our minds on fire, jotting out thoughts on sticky notes.

Practicing cursive letters--an exciting "write" of 3rd grade!

Froggy is our class beta fish.  He entertains us with his swimmy ways!

Learning the language of electric circuits and drawing circuit diagrams in Science class.

We wait patiently to put our Chromebooks away--this is one way we Respect Others at RES.

At the end of the day, papers go into Home-School folders so they don't get lost (at the bottom of backpacks)!

We hope you enjoyed a small taste of our #studentlife.  To see more, search the hashtag #studentlife on Twitter.
